flemingmma Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Once again we join for the third ever Kitbash competition. This months theme is easy to build. Using any of the easy to build kits from GW (from the list below) build a hero or character. If you're looking for the complete projects thread click here Here are the rules 1. The finished model is not to be painted but photographed as bare metal/plastic/whatever but if you have painted/primed it black and white photo's are okay 2. Its got to be to the 28mm scale of warhammer, no foot high beautifully sculpted monstrosities. 3. Greenstuff can be used to sculpt new features but there must be a recognisable easy to build base. 4. Each entrant can post Multiple entries without limit 5. 1 calendar month build time so anytime between today (2/06/2018) and a month from now (2/07/2018) 6. Have fun How to enter In the participation thread post something along the lines of "I (insert username here) undertake this month's challenge to build at least one hero from an easy to build base" In the participation thread feel free to post WIP pictures and swap ideas but once you have finished your mini/unit post in the completed projects thread stating that this is indeed one of your projects and a series of 5 photo's as shown below. 1 Front view 2 Right view 3 Rear View 4 Left View 5 Dramatic angle (not necessarily this angle just an angle that you feel best shows off your mini) Once the challenge closes I will run a poll to decide and audience favourite as the grand champ and I'll declare a personal favourite as well.

Mayple Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 The skaven blood bowl team is easy-to-build. I'd assume that goes for the others as well. I assume we're free to do whatever crazy stuff we feel like, as long as easy-to-build kits form the baseline/core of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flemingmma Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 So this photo shows a bunch of examples of how short/ far the concept can be taken from simple head swaps through to most of the limbs coming from other models bu the core remains recognisably an easy to build kit.

Perhaps a small extension on this particular theme could be fitting in light of the new releases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flemingmma Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 Well things didn't go to plan this month, I'm thinking of folding this month in with next if there are no objections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syph0n Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I'm looking at this one now! Got given a free Sequitor (and a bit, because it's one of 3 I guess of the ETB kits). I've also got some spare hammers. I've ordered some little nail art metal cogs and clock pieces.... Gonna try and kitbash a female Lord Ordinator! Hope the bits all come today because I can see I'm very short on time here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
